sydenhamssocks Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Sad news indeed. Was at Wembley for that Zenith final and will always remember Kevin's towering header hit the Forest net. R I P sir
marc_saint Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 As he used to play with number 5 on his shirt how about a minutes applause throughout the 5th minute against Stoke? With his picture on the big screens for that minute
Ricky Redstripe Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Really sad news, RIP Kevin, a very good defender, but more importantly, a very good man. I'm all for the round of applause idea.
Sour Mash Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Nice nice man, very sad news but i guess a bit of a relief that he is now at peace after an illness that was so hard to cope with. A good solid pro who was the salt of the earth. Always hear nothing but good things about the man. Top Saints pro as well. RIP.
fanimal Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Kev worked with me at B&Q in his later years with Saints as he worked toward his Chartered surveying exams, before he went up to Fulham as security officer. Just feel so sorry for his wife and kids same age as me and mine, but relief for him after a horrible illness. Never had the chance to enjoy the good times.
Badger Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Sad news, that he has gone, but after such a cruel illness, he is at last at rest. Always a solid and reliable performer who took his chance in the top flight well after a long wait, and for a few seasons never looked out of place. Only ever heard good things about him off the pitch as well.
saintoaks Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Top man, good solid centre back, never let the saints down. Kev, you will be missed. Best wishes to the family.
Jonnyboy Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 As he used to play with number 5 on his shirt how about a minutes applause throughout the 5th minute against Stoke? With his picture on the big screens for that minute Would be great if this happened.
Sheaf Saint Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Shocked and saddened. I remember him very well from my early years going to the Dell. He and Russell Osman must have been one of the highest-scoring CB pairings ever seen in the top division of English football. RIP Kevin.

sfc1976 Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Lots of good memories watching Kev down the dell, and was there at Wembley too. Sounds like a truly dreadful disease. RIP.
Saint137 Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Condolences, very sad news. Had never heard of this disease until now, sounds dreadful. I hope not something related to heading/concussions.
rallyboy Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 A sad loss - but a man who achieved what many only dream of, will always be remembered fondly. He pulled on a Saints shirt, wore it with pride, and scored a goal at Wembley. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.
dronskisaint Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 Sad news, my thoughts are with his family. Part of a fun period in my Saints supporting life he never ever gave less than his all. RIP
Viking Warrior Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 That's terrible news. One of our unsung heroes . I will wear my ZdZ final t shirt as a mark of respect
Matthew Le Tissier Posted 29 April, 2013 Posted 29 April, 2013 A minutes appreciation would be a lovely touch. Born, married and passed on the same day. Very sad Ripmooro http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10387752.Ex_Saint_Kevin_Moore_passes_away/
.comsaint Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 very sad, RIP Kev, not forgotten by any of us at the ZDS final. Indeed. What a great day out that was - and what a header from the big fella. RIP Kev. Very sad. Thanks for the memories.
Kingsbridge Saint Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Sad News. First class defender and bloke. RIP.
dubai_phil Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 As others have said, now his suffering has ended may he rest in peace. Condolences to his family and friends and those who helped him in these past years.
alehouseboys Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Born, married and passed on the same day.http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10387752.Ex_Saint_Kevin_Moore_passes_away/ Uncanny. What a tragic last few years of his short life. RIP Mr Moore
Bucks Saint Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 RIP Kevin. Top player, top man, Wembley memories for ever.
suewhistle Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I wasn't at the ZDS final, but I remember him well. Arrived from the lower divisions at quite a late age and then proceeded to surprise us all. From memory didn't he end up as one of the '92 club', having played at all the then league grounds? He had a real spring in his jump too, and just seemed to enjoy his football. RIP
Snopper Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Dreadful news that someone like Kevin should leave us so early from such a terrible disease. Somehow it doesn`t seem right or fair. I`m sure he will be remembered by the Grimsby faithful too. Sincere condolences to his family.
East Leake Saint Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 What a terribly sad day. I too, will never forget the ZDS final, it was one of the best days out watching Saints ever, and one of his goals that day at the Saints end was the most towering header I've seen in many a year. A true Saint, taken from us at too young an age. I do hope that we have a minutes silence for him at the last home game rather than remember him on "All Saints Day" later in the year. My thoughts go out to his family and friends. Rest in Peace Kevin, thanks for the memories.
scotty Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Will never forget that equaliser in the ZDS, that was my first trip to Wembley. RIP, and what a dreadful way to go. I never heard of Picks disease until today.
John Smith Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 R.I.P. Kevin, and condolences to his family and friends, a once true great leader of this club. I remember that pairing of Osman and Moore and would only really be concerned if Moore was out, without him, our defence was a bit of a shambles. But, with him in it, they had that rock they could rely on, gave them confidence. The ZDS final, not only did he score with a header, I was sitting directly behind the goal about 10 rows back and could see that his leap was as high as the cross bar. When you watch the replay, no-one gets near him! Lastly, one of my fondest memories of that final was the 35 yard run he made to plough into their time wasting keeper, can't remember the keepers name, but he was very young at that game. Thanks for the memories Kevin, you'll always be remembered fondly.
jim_bergerac Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Remember Kevin well from my days as a Junior Saint on the benches at the Dell. I recall many times he came steaming into the box at corners and sending a bullet header into the net. Had no idea about his illness, very sad news indeed. RIP
Dynamo Naive Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I played in a five-a-side tournament at Fulham's Motspur Park training ground when Kevin was working there. Really nice bloke, loved talking about his time at Saints and was very amused that there was a poster on here called Not THE Kevin Moore.
trousers Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Southampton FC @SouthamptonFC2m Club Historian David Bull pays tribute to former Saints defender Kevin Moore, who has passed away aged 55: http://sfcne.ws/15WU4fY #saintsfc
Saint_clark Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 A minutes appreciation would be a lovely touch. Born, married and passed on the same day. Very sad Ripmooro http://www.dailyecho.co.uk/sport/saints/news/10387752.Ex_Saint_Kevin_Moore_passes_away/ Christ, life really does throw up some weird situations doesn't it. 55 is no age these days really. RIP.
(not THE) Kevin Moore Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Top, top bloke the zds was my first ever game (hence my moniker) and I lived opposite him for a while. RIP fella.
Saint-Armstrong Posted 30 April, 2013 Author Posted 30 April, 2013 Good tribute from the club to pay their respects too.
krissyboy31 Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 I never heard of Picks disease until today. No nor had I. Apparently a type of dementia. At 55 that is a very sad way to go. RIP.
Chez Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 That is terrible news. The players in that team feel like `my saints' if you know what I mean. I was 15 at the time and went to all the games and they all meant much more than they do now. Loved that side and the players in it including Mooro. That 89 side was perhaps the best Saints team I've seen and he played a big part of that. Monster headerer of the ball and hard as nails. Has any football had whiter legs than him? Not sure exactly how good a player he was. My memory is not great. Can anyone remind me. I recall he was not the most comfortable on the ball, but did the basics right. Decent in the air, perhaps not the quickest. Mean but quiet. A silent assisin perhaps? Love to hear a bit more from fans about the type of player he was. Very sad to hear. I am genuinely gutted and I don't ever get emotional about people I don't know.
St Chalet Posted 30 April, 2013 Posted 30 April, 2013 Very sad news. Will never forget that day out at the ZDS. RIP fella, thoughts with your family.
